818: Chapter 818 Things are getting better now.

"Tony, if you're itching for a beating, I can help the Boss loosen up your muscles and bones," Peter Parker whispered to Tony.

"Don't cause trouble!" Tony said hastily.

Clarissa shook her head in amusement. "Hulk, good boy, you're not bad, are you?"

"!" Hulk nodded aggrievedly, looking quite pitiful.

He actually looked a bit ugly-cute like this.

"Alright, I understand. Be good, go back and rest first," Clarissa said to Hulk.

Hulk nodded obediently and took the initiative to go back.

Banner looked down at himself in shock. He had changed back just like that?

And... it seemed like nothing had to be done; Hulk didn't even have those 'angry' emotions.

Everything seemed... really not that bad!

"You were right..." Banner said with a look of realization, while also feeling ashamed of his previous actions.

If this was the case, how much harm had he caused to this simple child!

"My name is Clarissa. Welcome to the Akatsuki Organization," Clarissa said to Banner.

"Bruce Banner!" Banner responded.

"Alright, I'll leave the rest to you, Tony." Clarissa nodded slightly. Seeing the matter was resolved, she turned and went upstairs to the living room to have some tea.

"OK~ Banner, I'll take it from here," Tony said to Banner. "As for the benefits and such, Akatsuki will give you a detailed list. Regarding research, you can ask for your own lab, or you can check out Connors or Ethan. If you're interested, you can ask them and join their research together.

As for your girlfriend Betty, I'll go help you with that right now."

"Good! Thank you!" Banner said, looking moved.

After being on the run for who knows how long, he finally had a place to settle down. It seemed... not bad at all!

Banner looked at this underground base full of futuristic technology and felt very much at peace.

"Hulk... please look after me from now on!" Banner lowered his head and whispered silently.

Next, the Akatsuki Organization returned to its daily routine, while Tony immediately went to prepare for finding Banner's girlfriend, Betty.

This matter was actually not difficult.

He just needed to use Akatsuki to find a time to sneakily send a message to Betty about Banner. That would definitely call her out, though she would likely be very cautious.

But it was fine. He'd just set the meeting at a cafe in New York, a crowded place, so she would feel more at ease.

As for making her feel at ease... Tony felt that his face alone was enough!

It wasn't that he was so handsome, but rather the status of being Tony Stark!

Soon, Betty sent him a reply, agreeing to the meeting.

The corner of Tony's mouth curled up. Ah~ this task is still quite simple!

Tony then set a time, and Betty immediately agreed.

Things became much simpler after that.

He met with Betty and explained the situation. She was ecstatic and followed him immediately.

Afterward, Tony took Betty to a certain teleportation point.

They teleported directly into the Akatsuki Organization's underground base.

"This place is..." Betty was a bit dazed, looking at the futuristic underground base of the Akatsuki Organization, along with robots that looked mechanical but moved more smoothly than real people.

She felt a bit bewildered.

Teleportation gates? Underground base?

What on earth is all this...

But with such an existence, Banner should be very safe joining them, right?

"Betty!" a cry of surprise rang out.

Betty turned her head and saw Banner, who had been notified by Tony in advance and had come running out of the laboratory.

Betty looked at Banner's slightly haggard face, but his overall spirit seemed good. He was wearing a neat, clean white lab coat, and he looked like a man who had found hope.

He was completely different from how he used to look.

What was he like before?

Tormented, pained, sad, lost...

But now?

Hopeful, positive... and looking at her with excitement, agitation, and love!

"Banner!"

"Betty!"

"Banner!"

"Betty!"

"..."

The two called out each other's names and ran toward each other with all their might.

They embraced each other tightly.

"Holy shit~" Tony, watching the scene from the side, was fed a mouthful of 'dog food' and couldn't help but curl his lip.

Peter smiled knowingly. With a doting 'auntie' smile, he hugged Gwen beside him, who wore a similar expression.

The two glanced at each other and couldn't help but share a kiss.

"..."

"Mother! Fucker!" Tony's mouth twitched. At this moment, he missed Pepper.

Unfortunately, Pepper had to manage Tony's Stark Energy.

However, Pepper already knew that Tony had joined the Akatsuki Organization, and she was also wearing the protective bracelet Tony gave her.

In every aspect, Tony had given her his utmost trust.

Somehow, Tony's love for Pepper had deepened, and he had seen his own heart more clearly and quickly.

Well, after today's stimulation, Tony would probably be even more 'explosive.'

"Tsk~" Tony looked at Polaris, who was leisurely watching the scene while eating a bag of potato chips.

Oh! At least he was someone with a partner. Although she wasn't by his side, it didn't matter—wasn't there an even bigger 'single dog' right here!

By comparison, he was doing quite well!

Thinking this way, Tony suddenly felt much better.

Banner and Betty hugged and kissed, pouring their hearts out to each other.

"OK OK OK! Alright you two, if this goes on any longer, it's going to be inappropriate for minors." Tony watched for a while before he couldn't take it anymore and shouted at Banner and Betty.

"..."

The two separated as if startled, and Betty looked at Tony with a flushed face.

Banner also looked embarrassed, but their hands remained tightly clasped together.

"Thank you, Tony!" Banner said, looking at Tony sincerely.

"Thank you!" Betty said as well.

"Ahem, alright, no need for such words," Tony said after a light cough. "Banner is one of our Akatsuki Organization members. We treat our own like family! By the way, Banner, that protective bracelet I gave you..."

"Oh! Right!" Reminded by Tony, Banner quickly pulled out the protective bracelet he had prepared long ago from his pocket.

"Betty, this is for you... No matter when, don't take it off. It can protect you," Banner said to Betty.

"I will!" Betty didn't ask much. She took the bracelet with a look of happiness and put it on.

"This bracelet has undergone some modifications. In the future, we can have our own private communication through it," Banner told Betty.

"Really? That's great! When I'm outside and miss you, I can find you anytime!" Betty's face lit up with joy upon hearing this.

"Actually... you could also live here," Tony said to Betty.

"Is that really possible?" Banner was immediately overjoyed.
